But we also know that sometimes these gifted teachers learned how to be better in some way from the time they first began teaching to the point when we acknowledge their giftedness.

It shouldn’t just be about having someone to watch the kids while service is going on or a check box of the youth programs that are offered. They need to be trained and equipped.
